ing, fair and cooler.

 

Only 4 Days More!
——And Honest Money, Protection,Peace
and Prosperity, will again come to our
sufl'ering country, in the People s tri-
umphant election of McKinley anl
Hobart.

 

The Signal!

The crack of the Anarchist’s revolver
inNew Haven on Wednesday night will
be heardhll over the Union.

It is the signal to all citizens who
are for the flag, and for peace and order
and good government, and the insti-
tutions we have inherited, to rally to
the polls and fire ten million votes at
the man who prompted the man who

. shot atThomas White of the Gold Le- i

gicn.

Bryan’s more recent speeches are
h‘avmg their effect. The doctrines he
preaches are beginning to be practised
by his disciples.

No brickbats back at them! No bul-
lets back at them, unless by the police
or- militia, if necessary. But votes!
votes} votes l—To-day’s NewYork Sun.

 

Getting Down to Bedrock.

The wildest claims have been made
of a revolutionary sweep among the
farmers and other industrial people to
the support of Bryan for President.
These statements were made so per-
sistently and positively that serious ap-
prehensions were felt as to the result of
the national contest, but as political ar-
gument and effort have come into closer
contact with the people, the actual sit-
uation could be a certalned with rea-
sonable accuracy, and in every instance.
tm wild claims made by the Populists
have perished before the truth. '

The Eastis given up and abandoned
by those who found that the more they
taught repudiation the more they in-
creased the vote against themselves,
and they have turned to the West to
make a final effort for a cause that can-
not be presented to the intelligence or
integrity of the people, but that appeals
to passion. sectional prejudice and in-
dustrial distress.

Unless all careful and dispassionate
inquiry is at fault, McKinley will carry
the State of Illinois by little less than
100,000 and probably by more. This
attitude of Illinois clearly settles the
position of the surrounding States
which are now the theatre of a hand-to-
hand contest between the great oppos-
ing: forces of honest and dishonest
money. Unless all logical calculation
is to prove delusive, there is not a single
doubtful State in the list of Illinois,
Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Iowa, with chances largely in favor of
McKinley in Kansas and Nebraska.

The extravagant claims made by the
Populists have misled many into the
belief that there was a tidal wave in fa-
vor of free silver and cheap money,
and many have inclined to follow it be-
cause it seemed to promise success; but
wherever honest and exhaustive inves-'
tigation has been made the people are
found to be honest to the core; and to.
day everything points to a general
sweep ofthe country in favor of Mc-
Kinley and the integrity and honor of
the nation, such as has been foreshad-
(IV/PHI by the elections of Vermont,
M-nne, and Conuectcut. Bedrock in-
quiry has (xploded the Populist bubble,
and the peeple of the Nation are now
certain to be true to themselves, true
tot-heir homes and- true to the great
Republic of the world.

 

Lies- of Calamity Demagogues.

Inexorable facts which must be fa-
miliar to all, scatter to the winds all
the arguments m-lde by Mr. Bryan and
his cheap money followers. They have
been appealing to the farmers and
workiugmen of the country to halt 'the
calamity brought upon the people by
the failure of this government to give
free and unlimited coinage to silver, al-

» teging that wheat and all other products

of our industry have fallen in value
fiolely because silver has been rejected
as the standard money bf the country.

When Mr. Bryan took the stump for
a -.general canvas of the country as the

(

Democratic-Populist candidate for the

office of President, wheat was worth 63.

cents a bushel and silver was worth 68
cents an ounce in the markets of the
world. Since then the wheat crops of
Russia and India have proved to be
serious failures, and a largely increased
demand has been made for our surplus
farm products, until wheat rose from
63 cents per bushel to? 86 cents, and in
the meantime silver declined from 68
cents an ounce to 65, making the silver
dollar of to-day worth but 50 cents.

These facts have given to the wheat
producing Stases of this country," based
upon the annual yield of wheat, an in-
crease in'the value of the wheat crop of
$90,600,000, and an additional profit on
the corn crop estimated on last year’s
yield, of about $44,000,000.

It is well for the country that this
practical and conclusive demonstration
of the utter hollowness and falsity of
the demagogic calamity bowlers of the
country, has come before the Presiden-
tial election. It presents facts against
theories, and it proves conclusively
that the price cf silver has no more to
do with the price of wheat or corn than
it has to do ith the price of trinkets
among the barbarians of the earth.

It emphasizes the supremacy of the
law of supply and demand that , applies
with equal force to silver, to wheat and
to every other product .of industry in
every country of the world. In fact,
it stamps falsehood, upon every ma-
terial argument Mr. Bryan has made in
favor of the free coinage of silver.

Had the prices of farm products con-
tinued to decline, as must have been
the case had the crops of India, Russia
and the ;‘Ar2entine Republic been as
prolific as our own, there would have
been no advance in the market value of
wheat regardless of the value of silver.
Both are products of industrial enter-
prise, and both will be cheap when
superabundant and dear when the sup-
ply 1s materia‘ ly reduced. '

The farmers of the country have now
the clearest demonstration of the utter
falsity of the cheap money theory, that
wheat and other farm products have
been reduced in price by the refusal to
give free coinage to silver, and they
should not only vote for honest money
because it is right, but they should
earnestly strive to emphasize the vic-
tory for honest money, because of the
palpable fraud attempted upon them
by the now visible falsehood that the
price of farm products can be governed

in any way by the value of the silver
mines of the country or the world.
The majority for honest money should
be overwhelming in every agricultural
State of the Union.
